Nevada state Sen. Kelvin Atkinson (D-North Las Vegas) on Monday declared that he is gay during a legislative debate over a measure to repeal the state's gay marriage ban.

"I'm black. I'm gay," he said, in what the Las Vegas Sun described as a "trembling" voice. "I know this is the first time many of you have heard me say that I am a black, gay male."

He dismissed the idea that gay marriage threatened other marriages. "If this hurts your marriage, then your marriage was in trouble in the first place."

I like his comment on how gay marriage doesn't threaten other marriages.

Disgusting. Why does this "man" have to shove his sexual activities in everybody's faces?

Unless he provided video of he and his partner having sex, he isn't shoving anything in anyone's faces.

Grow up.
